Yes, agreed. The path of greatest fear isn't long or short, it is excess sigma, and some skewness (and also that longstanding relationships don't work, rendering "proven" strategies useless).

The European Bund is a bit off its heights losing some 10 pips, some traders overdid it a bit me thinks. The US treasury also shed a few 32s but that doesn't mean anything. I bet this is only that the traders have something to play with.

you may get lucky. the SP trades 850 but it is off "only" 1.48% whereas the average European exchange loses 3%.

I'm doing a pair trade, shorting the nasdaq and buying a tech heavy European future, like Cac or Estx (which both are off 4% rather than the 1.8 shown by nasdaq). Should return 10-15% on margin if it pans out. OK here the trades, nasdaq is at 1032, Eurostucks at 2000 flat.
